D. READING
Read the article and answer the questions.
Kill your TV!

Could you live without television for a week? That's what millions of people
do every April as part of TV Turnoff Week, which is organised by anti-
television groups like NoTV.com and White Dot.

'Sure, TV can sometimes be fun and exciting, especially when you're tired at
the end of the day,' says Rudy Matthews from NoTV.com, "but most of the
time it's just boring. We want people to turn off the TV for a week and do
something more interesting instead."

You may be surprised how much television we watch. The average American family watches TV for 7
hours and 40 minutes every day and British men watch 27 hours a week (British women watch 'only'
24 hours). This means we spend over ten years of our life watching TV - what a frightening thought!

Many people are worried about how much TV children watch. Every American
child sees 16,000 murders on TV before he or she is 18, and 20,000 adverts
every year. Teacher Susan Walsh thinks this is a problem. "Children in the USA
spend more time watching TV than in school and that's very worrying."

TV Turnoff Week started in the USA in 1995 and now happens every year in
the UK, France, Holland and Australia. More than 25 million people have turned
off their TV, so why don't you do the same?

1. How much TV does an American family watch every day?

..............................................................................................................................
2. Who watches more TV in the UK, men or women?
..............................................................................................................................
3. How many murders do American children see on TV before they are 18?
..............................................................................................................................
4. How many adverts do they see every year?
..............................................................................................................................
5. What is TV Turnoff Week, do you think?
It’s a week when people..................................................................................TV.
